Adding Persistent Themes to Keycloak

We will see how you can add persistent theme to Keycloak. Before we start, make sure you have deployed Keycloak, we will be self-hosting it on Elestio. Keycloak offers robust theme support for its web pages and emails, allowing you to tailor the look and feel of end-user-facing pages to seamlessly integrate with your applications.

Persistent Themes

Keycloak supports mounting themes from a persistent volume, making it easier to manage themes across deployments. By default, the volume mount for themes is at /opt/keycloack/themes. Here’s how to configure it:

1. Access your Keycloak service on Elestio Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Service Overview.
3. Click the UPDATE CONFIG button.
4. Add the following configuration to the Keycloak container:

volumes:
   - ./themes:/opt/keycloak/themes

1. Click Apply & Restart.

You can copy your theme to the /opt/app/themes directory using various methods, such as:

• Using the file explorer available in the service dashboard.
• Utilizing VSCode in the browser (available in the tools tab of the service overview).
• Using SFTP over SSH.
